the recommendation of Shamikh Badra from the Palestinian People's Party
in Gaza, the Socialist Alliance in Australia is launching a special
appeal for funds to help the Palestinian people recover from Israel's
latest genocidal war. All funds collected will be divided between the
following two non-governmental organisations:

In particular, the funds collected will be for Inma'a Association's
project of helping the Palestinian children and their families injured
by the 2014 war on Gaza and those affected by cancer receiving
treatments in East Jerusalem and Israeli hospitals.

Since the Egyptian revolution that overthrew Mubarak, there
has been a lot of hope for changes in Egypt's policy towards Israel — in
particular the possibility that the Egyptian government might open its
borders with Gaza and alleviate Israel's near-total siege on the
territory. How has the relationship between Gaza and Egypt changed?

Now the borders between Gaza and Egypt are closed completely. The
situation, which was so bad before, is even more difficult and complex.
